Mount Kinabalu Golf Club

Mount Kinabalu Golf Club is an 18-hole, par-72 highland course at Kundasang, in the Ranau district on the slopes below Mount Kinabalu. The setting is the draw here: the course lies in the cool uplands that surround Malaysia's highest mountain, which forms the backdrop for much of the round.

From the blue tees the course measures about 6,989 yards and carries a rating of 73.1 with a slope of 123. Yellow and red tees provide shorter options, so the course can be enjoyed by a broad range of players. Being in the highlands, golfers can expect cooler temperatures than on the coast, and changing weather and mountain light add to the experience.

The club is semi-private and open to visitors. Golf carts, caddies and rental clubs are available, and practice facilities include a pitching and chipping area and a putting green. Credit cards are accepted and the course is open year-round. Kundasang is a popular highland stop for visitors to Kinabalu Park, so the course pairs well with a trip into the mountains from Kota Kinabalu.

A mountain round is always better with company. Use CoGolfers to host golf games at Mount Kinabalu Golf Club and invite members of the CoGolfers community, or join golf games other golfers are planning for a highland weekend. You can find golf buddies, meet golfers visiting Kundasang and connect with golfers near you across Sabah.
